## Job description

Optiver’s success in the world's most competitive markets is a function of our engineer, researcher, and trader quality. Our Technology Education team owns how engineers are assessed, onboarded and developed, from the first campus interview to experienced-hire ramp-up.

- Partnering with engineering and recruiting teams to connect hiring directly to on-the-job performance

- Driving improvements to assessment and curricula through analysis of performance outcomes and participant feedback

- Growing the Education function by identifying opportunities for the firm to improve the quality of its engineers

### What you'll get

You'll join a culture of collaboration and excellence, surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem-solvers. Motivated by a passion for continuous improvement, you'll thrive in a supportive, high-performing environment alongside talented colleagues, collectively tackling some of the toughest challenges in the financial markets.

### In addition, you'll receive:

- The opportunity to work alongside best-in-class professionals from over 40 different countries

- Highly competitive compensation package including performance-based bonus structure

- 401(k) match up to 50%

- Comprehensive health, mental, dental, vision, disability, and life coverage

- 25 paid vacation days alongside market holidays

- Extensive office perks, including breakfast, lunch and snacks, regular social events, clubs, sporting leagues and more

### Who you are

- Substantial hands-on software engineering experience with strong technical depth

- Experience mentoring, teaching, coaching, or developing other engineers through training, curriculum design, technical assessments, or similar initiatives

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to engineers at different experience levels

- Passion for developing technical talent and creating engaging, effective learning experiences

- A collaborative mindset and the ability to partner with engineering, recruitment, and education teams to improve technical development programs

- Experience designing technical assessments or interview processes is a plus

- Familiarity with agentic development, adult learning principles, or instructional design is a plus

- Exposure to high-performance, low-latency, or trading systems is a plus

- Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required; we will not sponsor individuals for employment authorization for this job opening

As one of the largest market making institutions, we are a respected partner on 100+ exchanges across the globe.

Our differences are our edge. Optiver does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, or other legally protected characteristics.

Below is the expected base salary for this position. This position will also be eligible for a discretionary bonus and Optiver’s benefits package with the benefits listed above.

### Base Salary Range

$200,000—$200,000 USD

**Live in Optiverus’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
